South Africa is carefully managing its relationship with the United States, focusing on respect and independence. The African National Congress (ANC) wants to show that they won’t be bullied, using established diplomatic channels instead of special delegations. They believe in maintaining dignity on the world stage, drawing from their rich history of fighting for autonomy. By sticking to their own diplomatic structures, South Africa aims to stand strong while still engaging with other countries. This strategy highlights their commitment to sovereignty and respectful dialogue in a complex global landscape.
